Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJNW
The AirTAC Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJNW is a genuine two-in-one filter & regulator — a diversion-type water/particulate filter and a balanced pressure regulator built into ONE body. It has 3/4" ports, a 5 µm filter element and regulates 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). It has no lubricator, so it adds no oil to the airflow.

About the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJNW
The GAFR500C20ASJNW is a filter and regulator combined into a single body, eliminating the need for separate units. It handles a 3/4in port with a standard pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi) and uses a 5 um element for fine filtration.
With a metal bowl and automatic drain, this 950 g unit is built for continuous operation. The diversion structure spins incoming air to separate liquid water and solid particles, while the balanced regulator maintains a steady outlet pressure as supply varies.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC GAFR catalogue (pages 235-236). Air must not freeze in the unit. No gauge is supplied with this model — the gauge connection on a GAFR500 is 1/4" if you add one. This unit filters and regulates only; it does not add lubrication.

Figures are the end of the flow curve plotted in the AirTAC catalogue at 0.7 MPa inlet pressure — a sizing envelope for comparing bodies, not a rated flow. Read the catalogue curve for a real duty point. Outlet pressure falls as flow rises, so size a body with headroom above your peak demand.

Where the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJNW Is Used
Machine Tool Header
Feed a multi-station machining center with clean, regulated air at 3/4in. The 5 um element protects sensitive valves and cylinders from fine wear particles.
Assembly Line Distribution
Supply a network of pneumatic actuators on a conveyor system. The automatic drain removes condensate without manual checks, keeping production running.
Instrument Air Feed
Provide stable pressure to precision measuring equipment or control panels. The balanced regulator holds the setpoint as line pressure fluctuates.
Is the Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJNW the Right Air-Prep Unit?
Choose the GAFR500 for 3/4in lines needing up to 8000 L/min flow (plotted at 0.7 MPa inlet). The metal bowl suits demanding environments, and the automatic drain handles wet or unattended lines. This model omits the mounting bracket (J) and gauge (N), so plan for a panel mount and add a gauge via the 1/4in connection if needed. The 5 um element traps finer particles than the standard 40 um, ideal for precision equipment. If oil is needed downstream, order the matching GAFC500-20 combination. With a 1.0 MPa max supply, you have about 0.1 MPa above the 0.9 MPa top of the regulated range.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Body size for your peak flow (3/4" here)
- ✓ Standard 0.9 MPa or lower-pressure 0.4 MPa
- ✓ Bowl material: PC (blank), Metal (C), Nylon (N)
- ✓ Drain: semi-auto + manual, or automatic
- ✓ Element 40 µm or 5 µm
- ✓ Bracket kept or removed (J); add a lubricator = GAFC
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Install with the airflow arrow: IN to OUT, gauge/knob accessible.
- check Keep inlet pressure at or below 1.0 MPa (145 psi).
- check Set pressure with the pressed-in self-locking knob; pull to adjust, press to lock.
- check Drain condensate before the 108 cc bowl fills.
- check Keep the unit above freezing (-5 to +70 °C, unfreeze).
- check Support the 950 g unit on its bracket, not on the tubing.
This is a filter and regulator only — it delivers filtered, pressure-set air with no added oil. If a downstream tool needs lubrication, add a separate lubricator or order the GAFC500-20 combination; do not expect an oil mist from this unit.
Airtac GAFR Adjustable Filter Regulator GAFR500C20ASJNW FAQ
The GAFR500C20ASJNW has a 3/4in port, a working pressure range of 0.15-0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi). It operates from -5 to 70 C, has a 108 cc drain bowl, and weighs 950 g.
The 'N' after the port code means no gauge is supplied, leaving a 1/4in gauge connection for adding one later. The 'J' code omits the mounting bracket, which is useful for panel-mount installations or when using an existing bracket.
